This alliance, opened to every other similar movement, aims to «liberate Europe from the monster of Brussels», as Le Pen said during the press conference, a statement followed by «the age of division among patriotic movements is over».

Furthermore, the European Union has been, several times, indicated as «a global anomaly», something that has to be substitute, as soon as possible, by «a strict cooperation among sovereign states».

Next step of this strategy will hence be the creation of an autonomous parliamentary group at the Europarl: to have the chance of doing it, it will be necessary to have the support of, at least, 25 Euro MPs, coming from seven different EU countries. 

This isn’t an impossible result.

It’s not a secret, in fact, to the careful observer, to prove how  the eurosceptic movements and political parties are widespread in Europe, at the left and (above all) at the right of the political alignment: in this latter case, in fact, the born of a nationalist, eurosceptic and and populist far right-wing threatens to shatter the very Community framework.

In Hungary, for instance, The Movement for a Better Hungary (also known as Jobbik), is able to collect more than the 17% of the national preferences and to be part of the actual government, while in the near Austria, the Freiheitliche Partei Österreichs, once leaded by Jörg Haider, has recently increased its political weight in the austrian Parliament achieving, just few months ago, more than the 20% of the consensus and 40 seats.  

The same applies to the belgian Vlaams Belang (12%), the english United Kingdom Independence Party (23% of the consensus at the last local elections) or the well-known greek Popular Association – Golden Dawn, with the 7% of the national preferences.  

This situation, then, doesn’t change in countries like Germany, Spain or Italy: according to a recent survey held by the Financial Times, in fact, the eurosceptic parties will enjoy the favour of an electoral constituency between the 15% and the 20% of the overall votes.

If these conditions are satisfied, we will surely assist to a complete overturning of the institutions located in Brussels. 

It will be the beginning of a no way out process: the national governments and the traditional parties, weakened by the incendiary rhetoric of these emerging political forces, will have constantly need the support of the latters to protect their own domestic stability; at a european scale, all of this will lead to a progressive abandon of that federalist architecture created in the last few years, aiming to the integration among countries, the adoption of a common currency and the institution of  an european parliament.

These are three elements that, to this day, are seen by the eurosceptic movements as symbols of the slow weakening of the national state, a process that only its consequent reinforcement, as opposed to the European institutions, could end.
